Letter from William H. Taft to Theodore Roosevelt

Secretary of War Taft agrees with President Roosevelt on Senator Henry Cabot Lodge’s speech and on the negative press from the New York papers. He describes his trip thus far and makes predictions about his success based on what he has been told. In light of the gerrymandering involving Oklahoma Governor Charles Nathaniel Haskell, Taft asks Roosevelt to help defeat an inadequate constitution in Oklahoma. Taft has asked Joseph L. Bristow to form another report on Panama, and he mentions an editor named Joseph Ralph Burton who has been attacking Roosevelt. Taft discusses the political campaigns and conflicts in the states he is passing through, in particular the political campaigns in Missouri, Oklahoma, and Denver. Taft’s mother Louise Maria Torrey Taft is recovering, and although the trip has been exhausting, Taft has a few days of rest ahead.

President Roosevelt will allow Frank W. Howbert to stay in his position, but will remove Henry Brady and James L. Hodges sometime after the New Year. Roosevelt has official reports to support his removal of Brady and Hodges, but they are Secret Service documents so they cannot be released. Roosevelt asks Philip Battell Stewart for advice in asking Senator Edward Oliver Wolcott for recommendations on successors for Brady and Hodges. Roosevelt also sends Stewart two disparaging letters about the surveyor-general’s office and asks if Kent or Earl M. Cranston could clarify the matter.
